      That wine glass is awesome! I love the last one – I gave my honey a “veto” coupon one year, and he’s still got it, waiting for that day I go off the deep end so he just gets to go “nope”. 🙂

      We usually do a coworker white elephant exchange, but we don’t do anything like that with friends. That could be a lot of fun though!

      Love quote on the t-shirt, wish it didn’t have the name at the bottom.

      Love the glass too; but after the first 100 calorie reminder, I’d likely ignore it! 😉

      Happy Thanksgiving, Monica!

      i know socks are considered a “boring” gift, but i think GOOD running socks (like Balega) are a great gift. i personally never splurge on good socks, so i would be so excited to receive a pair!

      I love that wine glass!! Although it would take away my ignorance that when I pour half the bottle into my HUGE wine glass, that I’m still only having one glass of wine. I kind of like that ignorance.

      There was a work gift exchange last year, a “white elephant.” I got a bag of festive paper clips. It’s not making a return at the holiday party this year, though.

      Great list!! My work does both a secret Santa during the week before Christmas and a white elephant gift thing at our Christmas party. My company might just love Christmas…
